Star Wars is a science fiction franchise set in a universe far far away.
What Went Wrong with 'Solo' and What Does It Mean for Star Wars?
When Star WarsEpisode I: The Phantom Menace was announced, everyone became giddily excited at the prospect of a new adventure in the galaxy far, far away. However, when the movie released, fans were immensely disappointed at the lackluster acting, over the top drama, and of course, Jar-Jar Binks. Little did they know that such a display was to be the status quo for Star Wars for the next six years, as two more prequels came out that people were not very kind too. Naturally, people were disappointed that their beloved saga had been reduced to a melodramatic stage show in space. The fear that Star Wars would never recover would have surely been in people’s minds ten years later, as Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens was announced. Yet, as we all know, the movie exceeded all expectations and gave the fans a glimpse at how Star Wars could live on and not let itself be defined by an era long past.

Han Solo Movie Review
Don't get me wrong I think Ron Howard put in some great work into making a great Star Wars story after Phil Lord and Chris Miller were taken off the project. I think there is much to be said about the work that they started on and I felt like a lot of the reshoots were done to eliminate some of the comedic dialogue and made the writing feel kind of awkward to me.

'Solo: A Star Wars Story'
(POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD) Solo: A Star Wars Story is one of the biggest box office disappointments in recent history. Currently, Solo: A Star Wars story is sitting at a paltry domestic earnings of $127,745,692 per (Box Office Mojo). Let's just say this is an underwhelming amount especially compared to the main Star Wars films. The question is, why?

A lot of us Star Warsfans have been very apprehensive about the newest anthology film, Solo: A Star Wars Story, myself included. I feel like most of us have just been very hesitant about someone who wasn't Harrison Ford playing Han Solo.

'Solo: A Star Wars Story' Movie Review (Spoiler Edition)
When I walked into to see this movie, I was astonished to see that the theatre was almost completely empty. I double checked my ticket, convinced that I was at the wrong theatre. After all, this was no ordinary Hollywood flick: it was a Star Wars movie, for crying out loud! The seats should be filled with eager audiences chattering about what they expected from the movie and how it would change the rapidly expanding lore of the revitalised franchise. However, to my great dismay, for the entirety of Solo: A Star Wars Story, the theatre was only filled to one-fourth of its maximum capacity. After seeing the movie, however, I understood why, but at the same time, I felt like its not really the movie's fault.

If you don’t want the big points of the film ruined for you before you go to see it, turn back now! Although the chances of you turning back at this point are probably like... hey, no, I’ll never tell you the odds. Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge. No, seriously, consider this your warning to remain spoiler free.

Can We Tone Down the 'Star Wars' a Bit?
Solo was an odd experiment from the Disney and the Star Wars universe. Granted, the character of Han Solo quickly became a favourite among fans for his down-to-earth personality and the fact that he was the only "normal" main character in the saga.

The Hunt for the Hunter: 10 Actors Who Could Star in the Boba Fett Solo Movie. Top Story - May 2018.
Ever since the resurgence of Star Wars, fans have been begging for a Boba Fett solo movie, and it seems that the time has finally come. Back in 2014 this movie was rumored to happen with director Josh Trank and Michael B. Jordan as Boba Fett, but after the disaster that was Fantastic Four, it came as no surprise that the whole project was scrapped. However, it seems that under the steady hands of Logan director James Mangold, the film will finally come to fruition. With no actors rumored to be attached to the project yet, that leaves a clean slate to start from, and I think I have a few select people who could play the part uniquely well.
